Radiation plus pills may slow spread of advanced lung cancer
NCT ID NCT02314364
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested adding a precise type of radiation (SBRT) to standard targeted therapy pills for people with stage IV lung cancer that has specific gene changes (EGFR, ALK, or ROS1). The goal was to see if this combination could delay the cancer from spreading to new areas. 27 participants who were stable on their targeted therapy received SBRT to all remaining tumor spots. The main focus was on how many people had cancer spread within one year.
